I didn't see anything significantly cheaper on their website.
Canadian Dollar is significantly cheaper than USD.
This is what I would buy from them:

On sale now for $2197. 300 amp-hours@12 volts.
They have a very nice pdf which spells out what the bank can, and can not do, and exactly how it may be recharged.

This is why I won't yet buy LI:
Low temperatures reduce the rate at which the battery can properly absorb current. Lithium ions, with no where to go, will begin piling up on the anode. This leads to irreversible Lithium metallic plating which will essentially begin instantaneously. Performance, output and lifecycle become diminished and the battery becomes increasingly less safe under stressful conditions.
Just as FYI, that $2197 CAD = ~ $1500 USD.
I worked with Conor (the owner) on my setup directly, as I think I was probably his first RV customer (he's got pictures of my setup on his site). He gave me lots of good information on programming my Samlex inverter/charger and is very responsive. He recently changed the 100AH unit by bumping it to 125AH to show true 100AH at 80% discharge, which I found to be an interesting marketing angle. They're coming out with a cold-weather variant sometime soon.
